This presentation (57:32 minutes) by Nancy Schoenborn discusses the role that language plays in promoting individualized care for older adults. Objectives: (1) briefly review the importance of individualized care in older adults; (2) highlight areas of disconnect between language in guidelines/scientific literature and patient perception that may hinder individualized care; (3) demonstrate the importance of engaging patients as one strategy to bridge the disconnect; and (4) discuss the complexities and challenges when patient preference may be at odds with evidence.
